NumPy can _store_ arrays in either row-major (C-style) or column-major (Fortran-style) order. Row-major is the default. Index order is always row, column.
FTC must be happy!
I graduated during the financial crisis and unemployment rates were brutally high, wages low, and job prospects minimal. I really think millennials got the shit end of the stick--high college costs, high housing costs, weak job opportunities and then just as most of us were getting our careers established the pandemic happened and housing and inflation costs went through the roof. Meanwhile boomers basically did nothing but coast on the hard work of their parents generation.
Immersive Sim + "I have to keep up with the latest AAA game standards for graphics" probably is doomed. We really need to give them permission to not have to be up to that graphics standard. Permission to not have to be fully voiced would be nice too.

Right now they're in an ugly place where they're still awfully large for an indie or AA studio, but an AAA studio still largely won't make anything that doesn't drive to the limit of modern graphics.
Ultimately, does it matter?

Michelin-starred restaurants not only have top-tier chefs. They have buyers who negotiate with food suppliers to get the best ingredients they can at the lowest prices they can. Having a preferential relationship with a good supplier is as important to the food quality and the health of the business as having a good chef to prepare the dishes.

Apple has top-tier engineering talent but they are also able to negotiate preferential relationships with their suppliers, and it's both those things that make Apple a phenomenal tech company.
Satoshi Nakamoto said this about other implementations:

"I don't believe a second, compatible implementation of Bitcoin will ever be a good idea. So much of the design depends on all nodes getting exactly identical results in lockstep that a second implementation would be a menace to the network. The MIT license is compatible with all other licenses and commercial uses, so there is no need to rewrite it from a licensing standpoint." [0]

I can see the dangers, but multiple implementations looks healthy to me.

Do you have any source to back that up? Last I heard a random person or company won't have a way to find out the real identity given just an IP in general.
OpenAI is building its own search engine.

What they really want is a web-scale index, instead of protecting your work from AI training.
Any other computer I could simply replace the motherboard with several other compatible motherboards, no soldering or donor board needed.
You actually can do the "offset by 2 bytes back" with a reshape + indexing + reshape back. But I suspect I'm still missing something. I need to read things in more depth and try it out locally.

By "numbs" here, I'm assuming you mean numba. If that's not correct, I apologize in advance!

There are several things where Cython is a better fit than numba (and to be fair, several cases where the opposite is true). There are two that stick out in my mind:

First off, the optimizations for cython are explicit and a matter of how you implement the actual code. It's a separate language (technically a superset of python). There's no "magic". That's often a significant advantage in and of itself. Personally, I often find larger speedups with Cython, but then again, I'm more familiar with it, and understand what settings to turn on/off in different situations. Numba is much more of a black box given than it's a JIT compiler. With that said, it can also do things that Cython can't _because_ it's a JIT compiler.

If you want to run python code as-is, then yeah, numba is the better choice. You won't see a speedup at all with Cython unless you change the way you've written things.

The second key thing is one that's likely the most overlooked. Cython is arguably the best way to write a python wrapper around C code where you want to expose things as numpy arrays. It takes a _huge_ amount of the boilerplate out. That alone makes it worth learning, i.m.o.
People do, yes. But corporate executives and shareholders are not people and fundamentally do not have the capacity to care what "people" think or value.

The decision makers want the number to go up, and they want it to go up now, not ten years from now.

There's a very good reason that all of the biggest companies are eating themselves from the inside out right now. Making the number go up right now is far, far more valuable than making sure it stays up after they get their bonus.
You can’t make a decent iOS app with Swift Playgrounds, its just a toy for kids to learn to code.
Very interesting, and I missed the 100W bit, thanks! Yeah that would be really hard to do by hand for 2 minutes. Maybe Guinness records needs to see who can shake their cold brew hardest/longest. So this begs further questions for me, like can I shake with 10W for 30 minutes, or 10 minutes, or…? Does the frequency matter? Can we use one of those chem lab agitator machines to cold brew?
You'd never use gzip for that, it has two dozen bytes of overhead before you can even start building a deflate stream. Even a raw deflate stream might not recoup the overhead on values which are only a few dozen bytes at the most, and if you're not using a static huffman tree the overhead for the tree is going to end all possibility of a gain.

Furthermore LZ constructions work off of redundancy, which is difficult to find in large amounts in such short strings. The overhead of framing will just increase the size of the payload after construction.

You could define just a static huffman tree and make that part of your spec.
Man, Dex is in this horrible spot right now where it's so cool, and so close to being the dream, but misses the mark in a couple of spots (like Linux support) and therefore becomes essentially useless (or rather, toy status). If Samsung fixed a few things like that, I'd be buying the crap out of those tablets.
This is also really bad for the economy because it reduces mobility. It drastically raises the barrier for relocating for a better job. It makes our job-to-worker mappings much worse.
Auto manufactures issue recalls fairly regularly. To me, this shows how easy it is to "miss" something, or let something questionable pass and hope for the best while knowing there is a mechanism in place to bring things back. Food industry also has recall notices frequently. Both of these industries have inspections not by the manufacturing company. Boeing weaseled their way into self inspection and certification. OF COURSE things went bad. I can think of no examples of self policing working, ever. They eye of Sauron is on Boeing, but it is of their own making.
My wife uses hers (a Pro hand-me-down from me) for basically everything except her job, where she's forced to use a PC.

I solve problems, mostly with software. Roughly 9 years in the field, for me each piece of technology is a tool and I need most of them in my toolbox. Fullstack in the broadest sense of the word (starting from hardware, ending at business, with OS and apps in between) - I provide end-to-end expertise and don't believe in an "X developer". For the next job I'd love to work close to infrastructure (so: servers, k8s, etc.). I also write[0].

Why would you need it? Modern iPads have thunderbolt ports (minimally USB-C) and already allow keyboards, network adapters, etc. to be connected. It would be like an iMac without the stand and an option to put it in a keyboard enclosure. Sounds awesome.
I think you and I actually agree more here than it seems reading the thread.

I don't agree with the idea of having specific ideas legally banned. Though being from the US I am used to the idea of having free speech and am pretty well wired to oppose laws that limit speech. I don't see any problem with a community (country in this case) coming up with speech laws that they agree with. I wouldn't consider Germany to have free speech as a right, though that may very well be by design as I'm not sure if that's even considered to be a thing.

Where we diverge here is in specific examples of lies during the pandemic response.

> Yeah, thank COVID deniers and antivaxxers for that one - there are quite the few countries who managed to get nearly everyone vaccinated

At least in the US, herd immunity claims were the fault of health leaders rather than those opposed to the vaccines. Early on Fauci frequently quotes around 60% vaccine uptake as a threshold for herd immunity. As the vaccine rollout began his number kept climbing, ultimately leading to him admitting that the earlier numbers were lower on purpose as 85-90% would have seemed unreasonable to the public. He may have been worried about how it abti-vaxxers would respond, but it was Fauci setting those targets which he knew were lies.

I only brought up Ivermectin because there were specific lies being told about it from the top. I totally agree there was no scientific reason to think it would be effective against Covid, I saw infrequent claims of its use as an antiviral but never saw clear data. The lie, though, was branding it as a horse dewormer. That's more a lie of omission as it isn't only a horse dewormer, but a lie none the less.

With regards to the lab leak hypothesis, I wouldn't begin to justify or defend Trump or any of his supporters. They're free to believe and say whatever they want, I can simply ignore it or try to show how they're wrong in a specific topic (same for Biden supporters or anyone else, dumb isn't party-specific).

That said, justifying a lie by pointing to a dangerous idiot isn't a good precedent in my opinion, and doesn't change the fact that they were lies. Health officials colluded to write papers and push a PR campaign to discredit the idea and anyone considering it. They knew that gain of function research of covid viruses was going on in the Wuhan lab and that a leak was possible. They also knew they had absolutely no evidence to support a zoological transfer.

Trump may well have been spouting his own lies, I honestly don't know if he can tell the difference between truth and lies, but my point was simply that many in charge, including those with degrees and credentials that claim to be signs of expertise in the field, knowingly lied about many, many things during the pandemic.
The argument was against the HN title. It simply wasn't useful.

Arguing against clearer, less ambiguous HN titles is a strange position.
Then it'll be easy and fast and really not embarrassing at all.
Cheer up. These chips are going into MacBooks too.
> Likewise, a feeling of red isn't due to some mysterious redness. It is just the label we put on a particular configuration of neural activation. No need to make it mysterious until someone shows that more is required to explain it.

Well... that's the problem no one can 'show' it, but we all know the feeling of 'redness'(mysterious or not, caused by neural activations alone or not) is still fundamentally different from the knowledge that red light is shining on another object. And that's the problem.

I mean, maybe you don't experience this feeling and I'm truly talking to an automaton (hello!). But I can't honestly take these claims seriously when it's extremely obvious to me that the feeling of seeing red is fundamentally different from the pure information content that red light is shining on my face. It's a fundamental feeling of sensation that is simply inexplicable.

Why does red feel anything at all. Why is there a conscious (whatever that even is) experience of red. Wouldn't the universe work fine if it's all just automata (however intelligent). Why is there a feeling of existence at all. Is that necessary for the universe. Why? Waving these questions away as 'not mysterious' is either due to laziness or a fundamental difference in experience (which would be fascinating on its own, but I have no idea how to approach methodologicaly).
Same here, third person coop extraction shooter? Bleh, not my cup of tea. Helldivers 2 though? 70+ hours and counting, it's just so much damn fun, with friend or with randoms. It really is the sum of it parts, and every match is different in its own ways. An amazing game, is what it is.
No data, but iOS apps have gotten massive, caches have gotten massive and install a game or two and 64GB is gone.

Not to mention that occasionally is nice to have a set of downloaded media available for vacation/travel and 64GB isn't enough to download week worth of content from Netflix.

This is why this is so annoying - you're right, I don't need 512GB or 256GB. But I'd still like to have more than "You're out of space!!" amount.
Using gzip to the whole stream will introduce extra cpu cost, we try to make out serialization implementation as fast as possible. If we apply gzip only on such small meta string, it emits bigger size. I belive some stats are written in the data.
Presumably, this will eventually even out as people have to move for one reason or another and 7% mortgages become more normal (and historically, they aren't unusual).

But, yeah, right now, the number of people I know who have paused plans to move? A lot. Both within the area and others who were contemplating relocation.

We were considering a move to a smaller city, but prices there have gone up just as fast as our current area (DC metro). Along with the interest increases, it's not viable any more (would require wife to find new employment, probably at the lower prevailing wage for that area).
If the goal is to get a lot of value from the device, I'd recommend getting a keyboard case and keep it attached most of the time (it can still be detached/put behind as needed)

Otherwise if getting out of the Apple ecosystem isn't an issue, going for a Samsung Chromebook or a Surface Pro also opens a lot more use cases, including "serious" work that you won't need to delay because you're not on a "real" computer.
Tbh, most of the media coverage of it has been "this is the Twitter replacement where we, the journalists, are going, and therefore it is the best Twitter replacement"; if anything I think the Dorsey association was seen as a little embarrassing.

Like, it's hard to see this hurting use.
Nano-Texture

I really hope this comes to all Apple products soon (iPhones, all iPads, etc).

It's some of the best anti-reflective tech I've seen that keeps color and brightness deep & bright.
A lot of retrospective advice can be useful. i.e. For heavens sake, don't make the mistake that I did.
Exactly. We hope people adapt this idea and make great memories.
For the last several years, I've kicked off my annual book list by re-reading Ben Franklin's _Autobiography_. I just love the conversational tone and how wide-ranging it is, and there's a surprising amount of still-practical day-to-day advice in there.

Honorable mention to _How to Win Friends and Influence People_ (I agree with other comments that earlier editions are better) and _Getting Things Done_.

Thanks for starting this thread! Lots of good recommendations here.
What is your ideal Django stack (from front-end, to backend, APIs, database, hosting, etc), using well-supported, solid tech?
An appliance manufacturer isn't doing an entire press event highlighting how fast the CPU on the appliance is.
AdonisJS is also really great, very much inspired by Laravel (which was inspired by Rails)
> If using huffman, we must collect most strings and compute a static huffman tree.

Isn't that essentially what you've done to define your bespoke alphabets / partial encodings?
by "localhost traffic" i've meant literally any traffic generated by a given device, its operating system, and any applications running on it, no matter the destination.
That is fault of the devs. Because optimization for dedicated graphic cards is a either integrated in the game engine or they just have a version for rtx users.
People with a Macbook. You use the Macbook to work and the iPad to play, read, movies, draw, etc. plus you can use it as a second monitor for the Macbook.
Can you accept that different people have different preferences? Yours are valid of course, why cant the city dwellers prefer what the city offers? You seem to understand the advantages the city has but just reject them as if everyone feels the same way as you do.
It'd be great if this UI could happen inside VS Code, for the current workspace and its dependencies
I couldn't agree with you more; the native GUI tools are leaps and bounds better than their lumbering web counterparts.
This seems bizarre to me. They're closing the one that made Prey 2017. Is it because labor is cheaper in France vs in Austin, USA? Or maybe because everybody who was involved with making Prey left during the shitshow that was Redfall? Or a combination maybe? I can't imagine giving Harvey Smith the axe, though I guess he'll be one of the handful who'll be shuffled off to work on something else inside Bethesda.
Please Apple just let me run macOS apps and you’ll have my preorder.
Definitely. At the same time, there's a weird dynamic in the market - because of the boom of AI (driven mostly by cloud spending) architecture, the demand for cloud engineers and even general devops has surged, but mostly in the more senior 5+ years experience market. I am getting asked a lot of questions by people messaging me about how to enter after college, and I don't really have a good answer for them. The honest truth is that it's always been a little tricky and you've gotta be a little odd to get into it in the first place, and what I usually tell people is I don't believe many senior people doing it now ever "chose" it, it usually just happens to people.

Plus the fact that these AI coding assistants can almost do a passable job of a junior, to the point where most of their job is probably going to be just dumping crap into copilot or some gpt. I feel very very bad for anyone entering the market right now.
After running into traefik a couple of times I have yet to see a deployment where it does not consume more cpu cycles than the microservices it is fronting.

From a casual glance it does nothing haproxy doesn't already do, at a fraction of the cpu cost.
Thank-you. Your clarity was appreciated.
It doesn’t move the needle for me to purchase it. My m1 iPad Pro still does everything I want it to and I don’t use it that often, but when I do I love it.
Employment is so fragile and contingent anyway that I am not sure most employees doing this would care. Fireable offence loses meaning in a world of casual layoffs.

If I am not expecting to be there for the long haul anyway and need to constantly be job searching anyway, being fired isn't that great a threat.
The biggest market would be for travelers who essentially want a work/leisure toggle.

It’s not too uncommon for people to carry both an iPad and MacBook for example, but a 12.9” iPad that could reboot into macOS to get some work done and then drop back to iPadOS for watching movies or sketching could replace both without too much sacrifice. There’s tradeoffs, but nothing worse than what you see on PC 2-in-1’s, plus no questionable hinges to fail.
don't forget they all have the same solutions too:

1. Get a better job and start working weekends. A house isn't worth it if you're alive to enjoy it.

2. Move to a poor area and gentrify the shit out of it. Everyone will love and appreciate you.

3. Maybe don't buy a house "yet". Keep paying your ever increasing rent, you'll get there someday.
The Private-Equity Deal That Flattened a Hospital Chain and Its Landlord
It would be cool if regulators mandated that companies like Apple are obligated to provide models of devices with SD card slots and a seamless way to integrate this storage into the OS/applications.

That combined with replaceable batteries would go a long way to reduce the amount of ewaste.
Ever notice people don't build their own cars anymore? They used to even up through the 60's. I mean ordering a kit or otherwise purchasing all the components and building the car. Nowadays it's very rare that people do that.

I'm old enough to remember when people literally built their own computers, soldering iron in hand. People haven't done that since the early 80's.

Steve Jobs' vision of the Mac, released in 1984, was for it to be a computing appliance - "the computer for the rest of us." The technology of the day prevented that. Though they pushed that as hard as they could.

Today's iPad? It's the fulfillment of Steve Jobs' original vision of the Mac: a computing appliance. It took 40 years, but we're here.

If you don't want a computing appliance then don't buy an iPad. I'd go further and argue don't buy any tablet device. Those that don't want computing appliances don't have to buy them. It's not like laptops, or even desktops, are going anywhere anytime soon.
Thank-you. You clarified a poorly written HN title.
The problem is government intervention on behalf of home owners. The cost of housing is the #1 highest impact thing that is affecting all non-property owning Americans and politicians are not talking about it. I don't understand how the cost of living crisis is not the #1 conversation topic in presidential debates.

The reason why is because the older home owners are the most important voters so campaigning on lowering property prices by eg building homes and getting rid of regulation is perceived as political suicide.
It's not obvious to me that Apple does make a significant amount of money by selling upgrades. Almost everyone buys the base model. The other models are probably little more than a logistical pain in the butt from Apple's perspective. Apple has to offer more powerful systems to be credible as a platform, but I wouldn't be surprised if the apparently exorbitant price of the upgrades reflects the overall costs associated with complicating the production and distribution lines.
Put 20% down on a $450k place. Made over $250k in 5 years and we have still saved the capital for an apartment and more. Plus a family needs space and flexibility.
So they've officially killed off the last iPad with a home button.

Elderly folks let out a collective groan since swapping a simple UI for an additional .5" of screen space seems like a poor tradeoff.
You're missing that homeownership is an emotive issue and a psychological issue. People see being underwater on their mortgage as failing. People see selling for less that their purchase price as failing. People who don't own homes really don't understand that human nature and wellbeing drive house prices.
Eric Schmidt Says He Considered Buying TikTok
They don't mention which metric is 50% higher.

However, we have more CPU cores, a newer core design, and a newer process node which would all contribute to improving multicore CPU performance.

Also, Apple is conservative on clock speeds, but those do tend to get bumped up when there is a new process node as well.
The recipe for soda is also open source - anybody can make their own carbonated soft drink. But I think if someone offered you "free soda" it would be pretty clear that they are offering you a specific soda whose recipe you almost certainly don't know, not the umbrella concept of "soda".
